Aisling McDonnell

I chose Commerce (Global Experience) because it's a dynamic programme, offering a wide range of subjects - all within a lively and vibrant city. The opportunity to gain work experience and study abroad was a major draw, and helped me clarify my career aspirations. Specialising in final year allowed me to develop expertise and collaborate with real companies, gaining hands-on experience. My time at University of Galway has been so enjoyable - Galway will always hold a special place in my heart!

The BComm (Global Experience) allowed me to explore multiple disciplines in my first two years, which helped me determine my final-year specialisation. My work placement provided industry experience and enhanced key workplace skills. My Erasmus in Dijon, France, broadened my perspective and enabled me to travel. I'd highly recommend the BComm (Global Experience) - it offers a well-rounded academic experience and real-world opportunities that enhance both professional and personal growth.
